Lyics

My Shepherd's mighty aid,
His dear redeeming love,
His all-protecting power displayed,
I joy to prove.
Led onward by my Guide,
I tread the beauteous scene,
Where tranquil waters gently glide
Thro' pastures green.


In error's maze my soul 
Shall wander now no more;
His spirit shall with sweet control,
The lost restore.
My willing steps he'll lead
In paths of righteousness;
His power defend, his bounty feed,
His mercy bless.


Affliction's deepest gloom
Shall but his love display;
He will the vale of death illume
With living ray.
I lean upon his rod,
And thankfully adore;
My heart shall vindicate my God
For evermore.


His goodness ever nigh,
His mercy ever free,
Shall, while I live, shall, when I die,
Still follow me.
Forever shall my soul,
His boundless blessings prove,
And, while eternal ages roll,
Adore and love.
